Same here.. hopefully no problem

btw.. have u booked your air tixs? which date will u be goin?

i am going on 1 march 2011 until 5 march 2011..

U r welcome

There's a service apartmnet called PR Place which is nearer to Airport Rail Link - Ratchaprarop Station. Less than 100 m while Tango Vibrant is across the road of PR place (not directly) , you have to walk further down towards right then turn left into a lane.Walk abount within may be 100 - 200 m.

And if you need to catch a BTS just take Ratchaprarop Airport Rail Link and go to Phaya Thai station to change to BTS.Need not go to ChitLOM. And to take MRTA just Ratchaprarop Airport Rail Link go to Makassan and walk to Petchaburi MRTA.

Unfortunately the citylink (airport rail) line is running with approx. 30 min. frequencies between trains. If you've just missed the last train, it's going to take a long time to get to what is a relatively near station. If you're alone, try taking the motorcycle taxis (motosai) instead at around 10B per person to Chitlom. They are found almost every corner wearing colorful vests. Say "pai chitlom BTS, thao rai khap/kha?" (how much to chitlom?) and he will say either sip baht (10) or sip ha (15) - not more than that.

Added on January 22, 2011, 12:03 amAhh, I see PR Place, hmm I will check it out... there's so many nice places in BKK to stay and all price reasonably, imagine I pay this price I only get the dirty first world old wing at Genting filled with roaches, my past experience ...

Icic thanks for explaining, you're so familiar with roads and transport One more question, how do I get to the Grand Palace, I take BTS to Saphan Taksin, then take Chaor Pharaya boat which colour flag (if on Sunday?) and stop at Tha Chang is that correct?

Added on January 22, 2011, 12:06 amToo bad I'm not alone, taxi/tuk tuk is the other option ... I'm ok with walking, I tried walking like half an hour to a mall when I was in Phuket because along the road there was many stuffs to see, but I think BKK way too hot

If anyone can suggest more places to visit or famous eatries. Please recommend me..

Wahhh interesting, my sister told me not to go China Town she said it's a waste of time besides sharkfin and gold. Some selling fake sharkfin as well I actually cut that out of my itinerary.

Go to Platinum Fashion Mall it's a wholesale fashion mall. Massage so far I heard healthland / body tune is not bad ...
Eating - if you want seafood try Somboon Seafood. Mango Tango dessert and Swensens much cheaper than here. Then this place call Som Tom but always packed with people. MK Steamboat is not bad, located at MBK. Cabbages and Condom is place is more for the ambiance than the food.

Some forumer recommend somboon also.. Hmm might consider.

My sis just wen she said, not bad especially the famous curry crab

Besides somboon, any other recommendations for food?

chicken rice is on my list,
somboon,

How about nice beef noodles? ROAR~

@mugenz, i would not recommend Nana if u r planning to bring your gf along.

platinum mall had pretty rad clothing for dirt cheap
bought much t shirts as i think their design is similar to designer-ish
probably splurge too much without much thought as one of em was a size too small

Som tum restaurant is nice but they close at 9pm.
There's another restaurant one lane b4 somtum that serves vietnamese n thai food. U shud try there as locals frequent there.

Somboon the curry crab is great n the pork satay infront the shop is nice too.

The local street food is damn nice n super spicy. Mixed rice n clear soup noodles are great. Beware on their chillis!!

Chatuchak, u shud try din pa at soi 1, section 4. Great, spicy and cheap local food.
The sausages n coconut ice cream at chatuchakis great too

Hmm China Town or Chatuchak might have beed noodle? I'm looking forward to dessert ..
Do you know how much does a drink in sky bar or sirocco cost?

Yes that's the way to Grand Palace. However, there are many ferry taxis make sure u ask before you hop in. Is very cheap ticket. The conductor will go around like ferry to collect money and give u ticket. make sure u know which to hop out. There are this tourist ferry which cost abt 150 THB for unlimted ride. However, I don't think it will cost you that much to where u wanna go. If u t Tha Thien pier u can go accross wat arun (got to change ferry)

Cheers
